Ops Brief 063: Daily Drop - 17 June 2025 ($300 for Evac & Lagging Hypersonics)

Send us a text

The Pentagon’s busy doing backflips to avoid picking a side in the Israel-Iran slugfest, while the U.S. military quietly scrambles tankers, evacuates families, and acts like $300 is enough to survive Naples, Italy. Meanwhile, Air Force tankers take center stage, hypersonic weapons get a reboot (because we’re behind... again), and Space Force finally gets a toy that isn’t just PowerPoint.

Plus: AI flight scheduling, Normandy’s long-overdue tribute, the F-35’s never-ending upgrade saga, and why the Naval Academy’s race-based admissions policy should’ve died long ago. Add some Trump, NATO posturing, and North Korean diplomacy (lol) for flavor. You’ll either be informed, outraged, or both—so grab your pre-workout and dive in.

🔥 Key Takeaways:
